Zoe

From the ancient Greek word meaning life, this name was adopted by early Greek-speaking Christians as a translation of the Hebrew name Eve, which carries the same sense. It was borne by two Byzantine empresses, most notably Zoe the Porphyrogenita, who ruled in the eleventh century. The name spread widely across Europe in modern times, appearing in French as Zoé, in Dutch and English with a diaeresis as Zoë, and in Catalan as Zoè.
